If you don’t mind a few light scratches on the chassis from daily use, then the iPhone 16 Pro Max may not even need a case, or so we think. The ceramic shield-coated OLED screen can withstand scratches up to a level 6 hardness tool, while the titanium frame is a bit more scratch prone should it encounter something really sharp.
NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover captured a peculiar rock with a striped pattern using its Left Mastcam-Z camera. The latter is essentially two cameras located high on the rover’s mast, which captured this image on Sept. 13, 2024 (Sol 1268) at the local mean solar time of 12:40:29.
MIT engineers have managed to 3D print LEGO-like glass bricks that can be reused multiple times. This reconfigurable masonry uses a custom 3D glass printing technology that results in strong, multilayered glass bricks, each in the shape of a figure eight, designed to interlock, similar to LEGO bricks.
Driving a micro-car is one thing, having a humanoid robot lace up for a boxing practice session is another. That’s exactly what IHMC’s Nadia was up to, or more specifically, being remotely controlled for boxing training using a simple virtual reality motion capture setup.
This is the first time the autonomous Zipline Platform 2 (P2) drone has been tested on camera, showing just how efficient the system is, just like the IKEA drones. The system boasts a 10-mile service radius while carrying a 6-8 pound payload for out-and-back deliveries from a single dock.
We have flying cars like the Doroni H1-X that will probably never see time on public roads, and then the Alef Model A, which inches ever closer to production by securing 3,200 pre-orders. The company also signed an agreement with a joint venture between PUCARA Aero and MYX on Wednesday to manufacture aviation-grade certifiable parts for the vehicle.
First, there was the Origin Big O V2, which put the PS4 inside a gaming PC, and now, Macho Nacho Productions’ creation, which just might be the world’s first truly portable PS4 console. No special tools or parts were required either, just basic off-the-shelf parts and some ingenuity.
Scientists at the University of Southampton’s Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) have managed to store the full human genome on a 5D memory crystal. This data storage format does not degrade over time and can hold up to 360 terabytes of information without loss for billions of years, even at high temperatures.
